Areas of expertise: Leo
has fished for salmon, trout, and steelhead throughout Northern California, Idaho, Wyoming, Montana,
and Colorado, but he'll be the first to admit his favorite trout fishing is on California’s
own Pit River. Each year he co-hosts fishing travel trips to Christmas Island and Missouri River
in Montana. Leo is an avid striped bass fisherman and coast guard licensed captain and spends
the winter and spring fishing and guiding in the Sacramento/San Joaquin Delta.

What little free time from the store and striper guiding he has, Leo spends chasing dorado, tuna,
bonefish, tarpon, trevally and anything else that swims in the salt from Mexico to Christmas
Island.
